An exhibit celebrating 100 years of Warner Bros. was completely destroyed outside a shopping mall in Rio de Janeiro. Warner Bros. has not commented on whether the items on display were originals or replicas.
A fire in Rio de Janeiro destroyed the Casa Warner exhibition -- an installation featuring props from Warner Bros. film and TV projects -- early this morning, according to multiple reports out of Brazil. The fire reportedly consumed the entire exhibit, which had been set up in the parking lot of the Nova América Shopping Mall since June 14. No injuries were reported, as the fire took place between 2:40 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and was contained to the Casa Warner area. Warner Bros.
One report suggests that a number of original, screen-used props were destroyed in the blaze, but notes that they were all key props from big-budget movies, meaning that multiples exist. That means that while the props might have historical relevance and be technically irreplaceable, Warner Bros. likely have more.
If those items were originals rather than replicas, it is not clear how many of each of those items exist, and how many are still in Warner Bros.' possession. For instance, there are five known pairs of screen-used ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz that exist. Some are on display in museums, at least one is in a private collection, and one was stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, in 2005.
